Veronica,

If it helps, I spent today's session with my trainer trying to channel you. My shoulders and obliques, in particular, thank you.

LOL no kidding. I want to channel her doing pull-ups

I told Veronica in another thread that she's my Muse. If I could just find a quarter of her inner athlete, I'd be thrilled.

Weight work is proving really fun though. I'd never worked with a trainer before now. It's far more motivating, he helps with form and keeping me honest in terms of reps, and always has something new to try. I'm really enjoying it.

Yes, it really is helpful to work with a good trainer. I am really going to miss mine...but I've been well trained. For me the biggest advantage was his knowledge and ability to keep me focused without over-doing things. It may come as a surprise that I tend to push myself too hard Anyway, I am glad to hear that it is working out for you!

As far as food is concerned, I find I must say no all of the time or I am doomed... I do, occasionally, give in to ice cream, but as much as I love it I am satisfied with small amounts - probably because I get quality ice cream. No "reduced calorie/fat" ice cream for me - ick.

I am another woman for whom bread can be like crack...and I gave in today...sigh.

I had my "bread" day, yesterday and now back to reality. I didn't do too much damage.
I also find that if I am in a social situation, like a meeting with lots of food that is really bad, I don't eat any of it. The longer I can go without eating it, as I watch others stuff their faces, it makes it easier to not eat it. Let's just say the visual reinforcement of this works for me.
